"What I hope to capture with my hand burnished monotype is raw energy in the form of emotion, to show you how I feel, how my subject translates that state. These emotions are available to me culminating from a deep sense of spiritual awareness and tribal connectiveness. Titles on my works are meant to serve as a clue to what the work is about. The intent is to allow the viewer to set about arriving at their own personal sense of truth. This is a means of personalizing the work. Once a dream is shared, it no longer is owned by the dreamer."
